In one of your other posts you said that the shop that did the dowels was using CNC. There's your cost problem right there. CNC saves money on multiple or complex items but why pay for the programming and the expensive equipment for installing some dowels? Jensen didn't need CNC to locate and drill for the original 2 dowels and neither does a good old fashioned automotive machine shop.
I paid $300 to have my balancing work done which included the pistons, rods, wrist pins, crank, flywheel and pressure plate. They also polished the crank.
Spencer Motorsports charged me $300 to pull and bore the liners to .030 over but what do you expect from a Lotus shop?
Another local shop did my valve job and installed the guides I provided for $275.
